American Beauty Motif

This is our adaptation of a popular design origianlly offered by the H. E. Verran Company around 1910.

American Beauty Pillow

We offer the 20" square pillow on Raw Linen in the 3 colorways shown below. For a quick project, the hand stencilled areas are outline embroidered in black. For a more involved project, the petals, stems and small squares can be filled with satin stitch and the varigated "leaves" highlighted with hand embroidery. All areas are then outline embroidered in black also. See detail images below.

Blue Flowers
The "leaves" are stencilled in varigated shades of leaf green.
